Set Up Hardware Install/Setup 4 1 2 Set Up Network 3 “I want DHCP” is preselected to set up the network using dynamic IP addressing. The gateway is set up at the factory to receive an IP assignment from a DHCP Server. 1. If a DHCP Server is not available on your network, it will default to 169.254.102.39. 2. If a DHCP server is not available and the default address does not work on your PC, change your PC network settings to IP Address: 169.254.102.1, Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0, Default Gateway: 169.254.102.100. Set Up Serial Port 5 Note: Serial settings are grayed out when VCom Mode is selected. 1. Change the description of the serial port if needed. 2. Set the mode to RS-232, RS-422 (4-wire), RS-485 (2-wire) or RS-485 (4-wire). 3. Set the Baud Rate to control the speed of the port. Valid rates range between 75 and 230.4k bits per second. 4. Set Data Bits. Options are from 5 to 8 Data Bits. 8 is most common and is the default. 5. Set Stop Bits. Stop Bits controls the number of bits for end of character. 6. Parity controls the error checking mode, with options of: No Parity, Odd, Even, Mark and Space. 7. “Flow Control” options are Hardware or Software or None. Hardware is used for RS-232 only.

Port Settings: Four configurations are available: TCP, UDP, VCOM Mode and Paired Mode. TCP is the most common choice, and will be briefly described below. (Paired Mode uses the same settings as TCP.) Detailed information about UDP and VCOM Mode may be found in the user’s manual. 2. TCP Port Settings: - Choose “TCP”. - Choose either “server” or “client.” - Enter the port number on which you want to “wait for connections.” - Enter the maximum number of desired connections. - Specify who is permitted to connect. Depending on the Mode selected, there may be advanced functions available. Option is grayed out for VCom Mode. 1. Connect RJ45 first. DHCP is enabled by default. 2. Power the device. 3. Connect the Serial Device. RS-232 with DB9: straight-through for DCE device. Null modem for DTE device. RS-422/485 with terminal blocks. 1. Use included CD to install Vlinx Serial Server Manager. If Autorun does not start, go to “My Computer” and select the CD drive. You will see a Vlinx VESR icon. Double-click it to launch the installation. 2. Click “Login”. Password is blank from factory. No password is necessary to operate the VESR unit. The Configuration/General page appears.
